  • Adults-only site 10 minutes’ drive from Richmond in North Yorkshire
  • Catterick Racecourse five minutes’ drive; Easby Abbey 40 minutes’ walk
  • Dog-friendly pitches; Brompton on Swale pub and shop 10 minutes’ walk
For a quiet adults-only North Yorkshire stay far removed from the hurly burly of everyday life, Millfields Caravan and Camping is a tiny site tucked away in Brompton on Swale, a historic village mentioned in the Domesday Book. Peaceful it certainly is, yet there’s masses to do and see hereabouts. The lively market town of Richmond is 10 minutes’ drive away, with its photogenic Georgian architecture, museums, a castle and lots of entertainment options from cosy inns to chic restaurants. It’s also gateway to adventures in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and any keen racing fans among you have the choice of nine major racecourses: York is an hour’s drive, Wetherby 40 minutes, and Catterick a doddle to get to, being a mere five minutes away. And back on site, the manicured pitches look out over lush countryside (great for walking any dogs you've brought along), with simple facilities including showers and washing-up areas. If you choose to conjure up alfresco feasts on the barbecue, pick up essentials in the handy local shop, or you can always head to the village pub for a pint and a pie (both 10 minutes’ walk).

What customers say

This is a peaceful, adult-only campsite with spacious, level pitches. Facilities are generally clean and well-maintained, with many visitors praising the hot showers and the site's quiet atmosphere. Its location is convenient for exploring local attractions and pubs. Some guests noted limited toilet and shower facilities, and minor issues with electric hook-ups, though the site appears to be undergoing improvements.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Clear instructions to find pitch and lovely peaceful and dog friendly campsite!

Disliked One toilet and shower for the pitches on the right and side is quite difficult and could have been cleaner but the other toilet block was much better!

From the manager: Thank you for leaving us a review, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us. Not sure how the toilets are dark and dingy unless you didn't turn the lights on :-@ and our new shower block is currently under construction. :-)

Michelle C.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Pitches are large and flat, grass was well maintained, the site is so peaceful. Lots of dog friendly walks nearby. Communication from the site prior to arrival was good, we knew to ignore the road closed sign and which pitch we were on. Communication since visiting with the site has been really good too as I had some feedback to provide.
We walked into Richmond which was nice and also into the village. If you head of of the village you will come to the Farmers Arms which served lovely food and had a really nice beer garden.

Disliked Issues with the external cleaning company not turning up which have been brought to the owners attention and have been followed up on.

Debs G.

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked Great size of pitches nice and flat too!
Perfect for walking into Richmond too.

Disliked Facilities were not cleaned at all for 3 days. Dispite previous comments from the owners saying they go all different times I totally know it was not done whilst we were there, because the same rubbish & mess (hairs/empty toilet rolls/full bin)was there when we left.
Also not it’s not an adult only site there was young child there, granted she was quiet & good. It’s is incorrect information.

From the manager: Thank you for your review, I'm sorry you did not enjoy your stay with us. I have spoken to our cleaners, they assure me they were there on the Monday morning before you arrived and again on the Wednesday although they didn't come on the Tuesday, I can only apologise if things were not up to your standard.
I can assure you we are a adult only site and there should not have been a child on site, unfortunately as you did not inform us of this until now I can not do anything to rectify the matter.

Great little ste handy for a1

Electric hardstanding and grass pitch

Liked The campsite and pitches were well maintained. I liked the board at the entrance to indicate where your pitch was as well as having toilet blocks at either end of the campsite. All other campers were really nice and friendly. Lovely pub just down the road if you fancy a drink or some food. Owners were really accommodating and friendly. Thank you so much for having us.

Local attractions

Stroll directly from your pitch to the spectacular hilltop ruins of 12th-century Easby Abbey (40 minutes’ walk), or have a ramble along the River Swale to Richmond Castle and the pebble beach at Richmond Falls (both roughly an hour). And of course, there are hikes and cycle rides for all levels of ability in the Yorkshire Dales National Park (15 minutes’ drive). Head to Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve (20 minutes) for the chance to spy birds of prey and kingfishers in the moorland, meadow and wetland habitats, or if stately houses are on your agenda, combine exploring formal gardens and a lakeside park at Jacobean-era Kiplin Hall (10 minutes) with a tour of the mansion’s richly decorated rooms. The likelihood is you’ll adore fussing over the camels, llamas and ostriches at Mainsgill Farm Shop (15 minutes), where you can also tuck into a tasty cream tea. Should the weather turn against you, book tickets for blockbuster films at The Station or tour Richmond’s restored Georgian Theatre Royal (both 10 minutes), still with its original stage and seating.
